I have been painfully trying to get past this disgusting error for months now.
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file app:/myaafile.swf contains invalid data.
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
the sad part is that i have determined that it is nothing ive done wrong but a bug with adobe animate. how did i come to this conclusion? through hours and hours and hours of diagnostics. my FLA file is 667,191 KB. sure it is huge but that shouldnt make a difference. yes it takes nearly 10 minutes to open in adobe animate. the error first appeared when my file had a huge issue. it must have happened with the sh!tty adobe animate not saving correctly and corrupting my file. basically, ALL my actionscript
code just magically disappeared from the file. no im not kidding, ALL OF IT just gone, over 200,00 lines of actionscript just GONE. so i went back months and pulled up an old version i had backed up that i knew had been working at the time and recovered the code, which of course was a months old backup but i decided to start over from there because this project is very important to me. fast forward a few months and im back up to where i was again. tried to publish it and BAM same error. so i started over. added just my code and to my suprise, it never threw the error, published fine. so i though okay it must be an issue with my sprites. added my sprites and it threw the error. okay awesome it is the sprites i thought. reloaded back to the working version and only added sprites and no code and well guess what, it published with no issues... HMMM OKAY THATS WEIRD. let me just say my sprites have no code added to them except for "stop();" thats really it, no other actionscript as i command all the sprites through the code on the main timeline.
So i went back and created everything from scratch, code, sprites, everything. and guess what. it decides to throw the error even though there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with my file except for the fact that is is 667,191 KB. at this point i am absolutely in a rage. i have no idea what to do and this project is literally the only thing in my life that even gives me the tiniest amount of happiness. im willing to send the complete FLA file to whoever is willing to take a look at it to help. thanks
